Root Canal Treatment

A root canal therapy helps in recovering a tooth that has been infected or decayed severely because of an infection. It helps relieve pain and stop damage to the surrounding tissues and bone by removing infected or inflamed pulp.

We use local anaesthetic, so the procedure is stress-free for the patient. At Manly dentistry, we focus on providing patients with effective solutions with minimum discomfort.

Symptoms of tooth pulp damage or disease

Tooth pulp is a soft tissue with nerves and blood vessels. It is a highly sensitive area, and when it is infected or inflamed, it can lead to severe dental problems. If diagnosed early, you can protect the affected tooth and minimize the spread of infection.

Pulp damage can result from untreated cavities, dental trauma, multiple dental surgeries, and even a tooth fracture. Seeking dental intervention at the right time can prevent an extraction and other complex painful procedures, so do pay attention to the below mentioned signs.

Causes of tooth pulp damage or disease

Multiple dental concerns can lead to the damage or infection of a tooth’s pulp. One of the most common causes is advanced decay - untreated cavities allows bacteria to reach the inner pulp which can cause inflammation or infection.
Teeth that are cracked or chipped can also expose the pulp to irritants from the outside. Over time, the repeated dental work done on a single tooth, or trauma from an accident, can lead to pulp necrosis or irritation. Without early treatment, infections can spread from the tooth to the surrounding gums and bone.

Root canal procedure</span

Root canal treatment begins with local anaesthesia to ensure you’re completely comfortable. An opening is made on the tooth so the pulp chamber and root canals can be accessed.
The pulp is then gently extracted and the area is meticulously cleaned and shaped. A biocompatible material is used to fill the canals so that they are sealed from infection. In most cases, a temporary or permanent filling is placed on the tooth at this stage.
Once healing starts, a tooth crown or a durable filling is placed to restore lost structure, while providing strength and protection.
